Explore Newcastle

Dining

Newcastle is becoming renowned for its great dining experiences at the many cafes and restaurants whether on the foreshore, the beach at Nobbys, Newcastle, Bar Beach and Merewether or along the shopping strips of Darby Street, The Junction and Hamilton.

Wine Tasting

How about a trip out to Wine Country just a 40 minute drive (or take a boutique wine tour with one of the many operators with pick up and drop off at the door).

Sunshine

During the warmer months a sunny cruise on the harbour might be in, or perhaps you’ll be aboard a boat that continues out through the heads for some Whale and Dolphin watching. Or take a refreshing dip at the beaches or ocean baths.

Arts & History

You might enjoy and afternoon exploring the Art Gallery, Maritime Museum and Newcastle Museum or some of the heritage buildings around the CBD.

Take in a performance at The Civic Theatre or The Entertainment Centre, Lizottes or at the many hotels that promote our very talented live acts.
